Statistical Account
021.04 A Small hill on the Western face of the Fintry Range. It is chiefly remarkable for a range of basaltic columns on its front, which rise to a perpendicular height of some 50 feet. It is flat and circular on the top and like "Dunbeg" bears evidence of artificial work, and is supposed to be another in the line of beacons between Sir John de Grahams Castle in St Ninians Ph. [Parish] and the Castle in Balfron Ph. [Parish]. This seems probable as "Dunbeg" is in view of the Castle in Balfron Ph., "Drumbeg" is in view of "The Dun", and the last again is in view of Fintry Castle, which was in communication with Sir John de Grahams Castle.
